Ipomoea batatas attenuates amyloid β peptide-induced neurotoxicity in ICR mice.

A study evaluated 17 Korean native plants for their ability to protect against oxidative stress caused by amyloid β peptide (Aβ). Ipomoea batatas was found to have the highest protective effects and was further investigated. When fed to mice with Aβ-induced neuronal deficits, I. batatas significantly reversed neurotoxicity and reduced lipid peroxidation levels. I. batatas may be beneficial for Alzheimer's disease by limiting oxidative stress in the brain.
